‘LA Zombie’ Subject of Australian Raid

The January issue (#108) of Rue Morgue magazine contains my piece on the latest censorship crackdown to beset horror movies, this time in Australia.

Zombies are welcome to kill Down Under so long as they don’t do anything to those of the same sex down under. This seems to be the message after law enforcement raided the home of an Australian film festival director in November hunting for a copy of LA Zombie, the latest from Bruce LaBruce, director of Otto, or Up With Dead People.

Pick up the latest issue of Rue Morgue for the rest on this story. As for me, I can’t wait to get a gander at this issue’s feature on Ji-woon Kim’s flick I Saw the Devil, which includes a look at other Asian scare fests, by Phil Brown and Tom Mes.

Anytime Tom Mes’ name (editor of MidnightEye.com) is on something, I am there.
